A song from my friend, Paul, who did everything except the lead guitars. Smouldering blues! Much of this recorded during one of our "cottage sessions".

Settle The Score

A re-tooled and reimagined version of this 2020 track.

Waves Of Summer 2023

Sweet Surrender

Ain't That Something

Here (Take Offence) - Post CS

A song I had since the 90's, re-envisioned for today.

Walkin' Away (2024)

An updated mix from 2021 featuring guest vox from a long-distance friend in NZ.

One Of These Days (2024 Remix)

It came fast and furious and the recording is very basic…unfortunately just used DI for acoustic guitar and laid down some basic vox ideas. I heard the song in my head as being more of a SoCal track but…as often happens, ideas can morph into something else and now seems more folky to me.

Jesus Stole My Girl

Missing Me

This is a re-imagining of my track, Lodestar, from 2021. Original song was with myself and a couple friends who provided bass and percussion. Mike John (check out his SC profile!) mentioned he liked the track and, when I listened to his music, I immediately thought a collaboration was in order - and I'm very grateful Mike took on the task. His piano playing and sense of arrangement and instrumentation has absolutely taken this song to the next level.

Composed & arranged by: Michael Lankin and Michael John
Acoustic guitar: Michael Lankin
Bass: Paul Hickson
Piano: Michael John
Percussion: Joe Kettlewell
Cello/Violin: Michael John and Michael Lankin

Feedback welcomed and thanks for listening!

Lodestar (Lankin, John)

A recent demo from this year's "Cottage Sessions" with my bud, Paul, who wrote the lyrics & sang. Song came outta nowhere but glad it did...still planning to redo next month and will update accordingly when it's final. Hope you enjoy this version for now.
